| Looking for mentors |
| |
We regularly get requests from female TU Delft scientists who would like to discuss issues and questions related to their career (development) with a mentor. We are therefore looking for new mentors, scientists (M/F) from our university who have the position, experience and capacities to assist female scientists with questions regarding their development.
Also, if you are already a mentor, we would appreciate if you could let us know so we can get insight into the (frequency of) mentoring that is already happening. |
